In my own experience.... as long zs the baby is not uncomfortable and crying... its ok.. sometimes it takes a little time for their little bodies to regulate.... HOWEVER.. that being said.. if your worried about it... you can always give your baby water.... to kind of help move things along....most importantly is to follow YOUR gut feeling about it.... if your gut is telling you something is wrong... check with your dr..... =)

From the time my daughter was born til she was about 2 months old she would poop every time she would nurse. She's now 4 months old and only poops once every 2 - 3 days...but when she goes...its awful and gets everywhere! She has had really bad gas for the past couple months...it smells awful, but doesn't seem to bother her. Her pediatrician told me that as long as she's not fussy or acting like her stomach might be bothering her, then it's perfectly fine and normal.

I think 3-4 days is far too long for a baby to go without a poop. Even with adults a doctor says you shouldn't go longer than 3 days! When she does go does it hurt her? Try some infacol, gripe water, cooled boiled water or baby pear juice to see if you can shift it more often. If you're not sure about those things then perhaps speak to your doctor about it.
